Detaljerad beskrivning

Pruritus (itching) is one of the most common clinical conditions in the elderly population. Its etiology is complex, and the prevalence gradually increases with age. Pruritus in the elderly not only imposes a significant disease burden but also severely affects their sleep quality and daily life. This chronic, persistent itching often disrupts the skin barrier function, easily creating a vicious itch-scratch cycle, which leads to multiple damages to the patient's quality of life.Esketamine is the right-handed isomer of ketamine and is a non-competitive N-methyHD-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. It has the effects of rapid pain relief,rapid antidepressant action, sedation, and improvement of sleep. Relevant studies have shown that the NMDA receptor may play an importantrole in the transmission of non-histaminergic itching. However, there is still a lack of reports on whether it can relieve pruritus symptoms in elderly patients. This experiment intends to investigate the effect of intraoperative esketamine infusion on skin pruritus in elderly surgical patients.

NRS pruritus score at 24 hours,48 hours and 72 hours after surgery
Tidsram: 24 hours,48 hours and 72 hours after surgery
The patient evaluated the intensiy of prurtus wth 11 numbers ranging from 0 to 10,and the higher the number, the more severe the condition. The higher the number, the more severe the itching. 0: No sensation. 1-3: Mild itching. 4-6 Moderate itching 7-9: Severe itching. 10; Extrermely severe itching.

A total score of 6 or above indicates a diagnosis of insomnia. We asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire after the first,second and third postoperative nights to evaluate the changes in sleep quality. The investigators recorded AlS scores as statistical indicators.

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment consists of 7 items, which evaluate visuospatial and executive function (5 points), naming (3 points), attention (6 points), language (3 points), abstract thinking (2 points), delayed recall (5 points), and orientation (6 points) respectively. A total score of ≥26 points indicates basically normal cognitive function; a total score of <25 points suggests cognitive decline.
